Special Race, Saturday, Sept. i. 
The Larchmont Y. C. sailed a special race on Sept. i 
in a moderate easterly breeze. Isolde and Astrild were 
matched together, while Altair was present to meet the 
altered Hussar II., whose mast has been shifted aft 3ft. 
and rig changed from jib and mail sail to cutter. With a 
good breeze from the east, there was, of course, a tumble 
of sea. Hussar II. made but a poor showing in the first

A Dangerous Yacht Race. 
From the New York Times. 
Sir Thomas Lipton may or may not be something of a 
wag. If he is, he may easily be suspected of preparing 
a practical joke on the yachtsmen of this country. Sir 
Thomas has offered a handsome cup to be sailed for by 
the 70-footers off Sandy Hook. The date selected for this 
contest is Sept. 13. Possibly that will prevent the joke 
from working itself out in all the beauty of its details. 
But then, again, it may not. For there is nothing in the 
world more uncertain than the weather. And September 
is one of the coy months of the year. If the first of the 
fall months is in one of its sweet moods, the sun will 
shine in yellow splendor through a soft blue haze along 
the New Jersey coast every day and the surf boats will 
go in and out through the surf as carelessly as they would 
enter and depart from the mouth of a creek emptying 
into a river. 
But Sir Thomas Lipton no doubt remembers that last 
year he lay with his Shamrock and Erin in the Horse- 
shoe, and day after day in September the wind blew a 
fine whole-sail breeze and the white horses raced north- 
ward along the coast. A thrash to windward meant wet 
decks and a leaping bow^sprit. It was rare yachting 
weather, and Shamrock had no races to sail. What a pity 
that such weather should be wasted ! Who forgets 
that when the Cup race dates arrived in October the winds 
went to sleep and the white horses were stabled? Day 
after day the fleet went out to the starting point, but the 
breezes would not blow and the month was nearly sped 
ere the contest was completed. Sir Thomas remembers 
all that. And so he offers a cup for the seventies, and 
they are to sail for it in the rnrddle of September. 
Now let us suppose that genuine summer yachting 
weather makes its presence felt along the Atlantic sea- 
board about that time. Those white horses will come 
out of their stables and will go galloping northward once 
more. When the seventies start out from the lightship 
they will have to butt their way seaward against a blue 
water roll. There will be no Gay Head to shut off the 
flying seas from the southeast and no Long Island to hold 
in check those from the southwest. It will be genuine 
ocean racing. 
And that will not be good for the ne-w 70-footers. Does 
any one suppose that Sir Thomas is ignorant of the fact 
that, when it blew off Newport, these remarkable racing 
machines almost went to pieces and that two of them 
came near foundering from stress of weather in a fresh 
whole-sail breeze? It is hardly possible that Sir Thomas 
does not know about that. Now. can he really have 
thought to tempt the seventies to their destruct'on by 
offering them a cup to be raced for off the Hook ? Would 
it not be the yachting joke of the century if these four 
latest products of American designing skill went out to 
sea and were w^recked in the attempt to sail a race in open 
water? Let us hope that their designer and builder will 
get them all sufficiently stren.gthened with piano wires ere 
they make the perilous venture.
